The Weather Guard 297-3-02 is the biggest box in the steel line, a Jumbo Super-Side that combines the full 96" length of an 8' bed with a deep 24" tall, 16-1/4" wide body for a huge 21.4ft³ of locking storage. Tall 20-1/4" door openings let you stand up long tools and stack cases the way no low-profile box can, and it still mounts high on one side rail so the bed floor stays clear. Heavy welded steel and a Brite White ARMOR TUF finish make it the rugged, maximum-capacity choice for crews that carry a full complement of tools and equipment.
What's Included:
297 Jumbo Super-Side steel Hi-Side truck tool box, white
Two side-opening doors with tool-less QuickClip hinges
Two drill-resistant locking T-handle latches with three-point latching
Under-rail mounting brackets and hardware for a no-drill install
Removable parts bin
Full-perimeter weather seal with rain gutter, pre-installed
Weather Guard installation instructions
Features
Heavy Welded Steel Body The 297-3-02 is built from heavy welded steel for the most rugged, pry-resistant Hi-Side box Weather Guard makes. It takes daily jobsite abuse and stands up to break-in attempts, so your tools stay put and protected shift after shift.
Brite White ARMOR TUF Finish A Brite White ARMOR TUF powder coat covers the smooth steel to fight scratches, fading and corrosion and give your truck a clean, professional white look. ARMOR TUF is Weather Guard's toughest coating, built to hold up to sun, chemicals and the weather.
Twin Locking Doors, Drill-Resistant Locks Two side-opening doors each use a drill-resistant lock core and a three-point latching system to resist break-ins, so gear on both ends of the box stays secure. The doors open wide for easy reach into the full 21.4ft³ interior.
Tool-Less QuickClip Doors The doors adjust from 90 to 180 degrees and pop off with QuickClips, no tools required, so you can fully remove a door for loading and clip it back on in seconds. It makes packing long or bulky gear far easier.
Rain Gutter and Full Weather Seal A rain gutter design paired with a full-perimeter weather seal keeps rain, dust and debris out of the box and off your tools. Your gear stays dry and ready in wet weather and on dusty jobsites.
Rides High, Frees Your Bed Floor The Hi-Side design mounts on top of one bed side rail and stands up along the bedside, so your tools ride up and out of the way and the bed floor stays open for sheet goods, lumber and cargo. A removable parts bin keeps small items organized up top.
Removable Parts Bin and a Wide Door Opening Each door on the 297-3-02 opens to a clear 20-1/4" high by 42-3/4" wide opening, which is enough to slide long hand tools and cases straight in from the side of the bed. A removable parts bin rides inside for fasteners, fittings and the small parts that otherwise end up loose in the bottom, and it lifts out when you need the full length of the box.
Fit guidance: Hi-Side and Super-Side boxes mount on top of one bed side rail and stand up along the bedside, so the box rides above the wheel well and keeps the bed floor open. This box is 96-1/4" long, so it requires a full-size 8' long bed. It can mount on the driver or passenger side rail. Always measure your bed rail length and check cab and bedside clearance before ordering, and note it is not designed for mid-size or compact trucks.

Set the box on top of one bed side rail and position it front to back, then hook the included brackets under the rail lip and tighten the hardware evenly so the box sits flat and the doors seal. Because the box is 96" long and heavy steel, have a second person help lift and steady it while you clamp it down. Follow the Weather Guard Hi-Side and Super-Side installation instructions for exact bracket placement and torque.

Weather Guard Door Replacement Walkthrough
Weather Guard's official step-by-step guide to pulling and replacing a box door, filmed on a high-side box. Weather Guard publishes it on this box's own product page, so keep it bookmarked in case a door ever needs to come off for service or gets damaged on the job.
Weather Guard Truck Box Lineup and 1Key UltraLock
This official Weather Guard overview tours the current truck box lineup and the 1Key UltraLock security system that runs across it. You see how one coded key can open every Weather Guard box on the truck, from saddle to lo-side to hi-side, with a pop-up red button that tells you at a glance whether a box is locked. It highlights the sloped, reinforced lids and the ARMOR TUF powder coat that let these boxes shrug off weather and jobsite abuse. If you run more than one box, or a whole fleet, it shows why keying everything alike saves time every day.
Best Upgrade for Your Truck
This is Weather Guard's own brand film about outfitting a working pickup, built on the idea that the truck should already be loaded and organized before the day starts. It puts the bed and rail equipment in the context of a real work day rather than a spec sheet.
Watch it if you are still deciding how much storage a truck actually needs. It is the clearest short look at how Weather Guard boxes, racks and drawer units are meant to work together on one vehicle, and it comes straight from the manufacturer rather than a reseller.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
Will the 297-3-02 fit my truck?
The 297-3-02 is 96-1/4" long and requires a full-size 8' long bed. It is also the tallest box in the line at 24", so along with rail length, check cab-window and side clearance carefully before ordering. It mounts on either side rail and is not designed for mid-size or compact trucks.
Does it require drilling to install?
No. The box ships with under-rail brackets and hardware, so it clamps to the top of your bed side rail without drilling. Most installs take about 30 to 45 minutes and go easiest with two people to lift and hold the 96" box while you tighten the hardware.
Is this the steel box or the aluminum one?
This is the welded steel version, the most rugged and pry-resistant Hi-Side box Weather Guard offers. It weighs about 174 lb and is a great fit for contractors and fleets that want maximum durability. If you want to save weight, Weather Guard also builds this size in aluminum diamond plate.
What is the white finish like?
The steel body wears a Brite White ARMOR TUF powder coat that resists chips, fading and corrosion and keeps a clean, professional look. Wipe it down with mild soap and water to keep it bright.
How secure is it and how do the doors work?
Two side doors each open a tall 42-3/4" wide by 20-1/4" high mouth into the 21.4ft³ jumbo interior, big enough to stand up long tools and stack deep cases. Each door has a drill-resistant lock core with three-point latching, swings 90 to 180 degrees, and releases on tool-less QuickClips. The 24" depth is what sets this jumbo apart from the standard Super-Side boxes.
Is it made in the USA and under warranty?
Yes. The 297-3-02 is made in the USA and backed by a Weather Guard Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
